THE ARTWORK
In this screenprint by Carla Badiali, three red forms are arranged vertically against a broad dark field. A fine light line crosses the composition horizontally, introducing a second axis and creating tension with the small geometric elements’ upward movement.
The 1984 work belongs to the portfolio Sei fasi progressive di verticalità elastica. The reduction of elements makes each relationship clear: the distance between triangles, the weight of black, the luminous opening. The eye encounters a rigorous yet fluid balance, in which colour and direction transform an essential structure into an experience of space.
